A Chinese family in their green grocer's store, circa 1910s or 1920s. Unidentified.
The images in this short series of green grocer stores underscore the orderliness of the produce, everything stacked in its place, or strung like this row of pineapples above the patrons' and greengrocer's heads.
One wonders how many of the young 'uns in this photo led this business into the next generation. I'd pick all three were and that they passed it on to the next generation.A few of the descendants will, of course, have escaped the kingdom of pineapples and thickets of asparagus.

I'd love to see today's pineapples strung up like that!
Interesting to see that Chinese grocery shops were so neat and tidy back then.
